The power can be defined as the ability of the lens to bend the rays of light.

Explanation:

  • The SI unit of lens is diopter, it is denoted by ''D''.  
  • The power of the convex lens is positive. A convex lens has the ability to converge the rays of light towards the principle axis.
  • This way the lens bends the rays of light.
  • The lens of short focal length bends the light more thus the power of the lens increases.
  • Thus the power of the lens is the reciprocal of the focal length (f) in meters.
